journalist Simon Tierney said he agreed the cost of the bike shelter was excessive but described the outrage excessive. “So, while I accept that obviously the amount of money that was spent here was exorbitant and seems totally over the top, I don’t accept that we apply the same standards of criticisms to infrastructure involving cars.”Outside Leinster House is a car park for use by TDs, Senators and the staff who work for the Oireachtas.“It should be a matter of national and civic pride and yet almost the entirety of it is covered in cars,” he said.
